At this level, it's totally unpredictable, like the physical laws that we ignore, as in 1900, we ignored quantum mechanics, total revolution, scientific, technical and philosophical, with the basic classical concepts become false !!!

So we could go for a walk in parallel worlds corresponding to parallel (virtual) stories which are the foundation of quantum mechanics, faster than expected, as well as ever.

More long before energy used, what characterizes a civilization is its knowledge, information, which are found in its technology.

Would an ET civilization have built a Dyson sphere or an Alderson disk around the star KIC 8462852?

(...) the star, located 1.480 light years from Earth, does not twinkle as it should. At irregular intervals, the light it reflects is suddenly reduced, as if something passed in front of the star.

Interesting how the information can be "adapted" ...

The article behind this one that I just quoted, namely https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn ... tant-star/ does not evoke "aliens" ...

A crowdsourced group of planetary detectives may have spotted a massive cloud of comets orbiting a remote star.

(...)

HAVING WORKED THROUGH THE OTHER POSSIBILITIES, THE TEAM CONCLUDED THE MOST LIKELY EXPLANATION IS AT FAMILY OF EXOCOMETS THAT VEERED CLOSE TO THE STAR AND WERRE BROKEN UP by ITS Gravity, Produining Huge Amounts of Dust and Gas in the process. If the comets are on an eccentric orbit passing in front of the star every 700 days or so, further breaking up and spreading out as they go, that could explain all the dips in the data.


Obviously ETs are more "fun and selling" than comets.

News from KIC 8462852 ... with a new article: http://www.popsci.com/tabbys-star-alien ... ure-planet

A (partial) sphere of Dyson is evoked (unless it is a natural phenomenon ... thing much more probable ...) ... well "comes" it is quickly said since it happened there 1500 years ... i.e. distance in light years of the solar system from KIC 8462852 ... : Cheesy:
